To: Harry, my oldest nephew on the cusp of adulthood and looking for his first job. I’ve been told you want to drive a truck and are looking for me to give you a good recommendation to my former employer.

I used to drive a delivery truck for a car parts company. It wasn’t a bad job, I spent a lot of time alone with my thoughts while driving to various garages to deliver parts. I also listened to a lot of audiobooks as I drove. It was a wonderful way to pass the time. I could get totally immersed in a book as I was driving endless boring miles.

I never considered myself to be much of a troublemake...
